The Component class in the Sandbox namespace is a fundamental building block for GameObjects. Each GameObject can have multiple components, which define its behavior and properties. Components are used to add functionality to GameObjects, such as physics, rendering, and more.
| Member Name | Summary |
|---|---|
| Destroy | Destroy this component, if it isn't already destroyed. The component will be removed from its GameObject and will stop existing. You should avoid interacting with the component after calling this. |
| DestroyGameObject | Destroy the parent GameObject. This method helps clarify that calling Destroy only destroys the Component, not the whole GameObject. |
| Reset | Resets the component to its default state. |
| EditLog | Called when something on the component has been edited. (Obsolete: Use Scene.Editor.UndoScope or Scene.Editor.AddUndo instead.) |
| Invoke | Invoke a method in x seconds. Won't be invoked if the component is no longer active. |
| AddComponent | Add a component to this GameObject. |
| GetOrAddComponent | Add a component to this GameObject if it doesn't already exist. |
| GetComponent | Get a component on this GameObject. |
| GetComponents | Get components on this GameObject. |
| GetComponentsInChildren | Get components on this GameObject and on descendant GameObjects. |
| GetComponentInChildren | Get component on this GameObject or on descendant GameObjects. |
| GetComponentsInParent | Get components on this GameObject and on ancestor GameObjects. |
| GetComponentInParent | Get component on this GameObject and on ancestor GameObjects. |
| Serialize | Serialize the component to a JSON node. |
| Deserialize | Deserialize the component from a JSON node. |
| DeserializeImmediately | Deserialize this component and update GameObject and Component property references immediately. |
| Member Name | Summary |
|---|---|
| JsonRead | Read JSON data into an object of the specified type. |
| JsonWrite | Write an object to JSON format. |
| Member Name | Summary |
|---|---|
| Scene | The scene this Component is in. This is a shortcut for `GameObject.Scene`. |
| Transform | The transform of the GameObject this component belongs to. This is a shortcut for `GameObject.Transform`. |
| GameObject | The GameObject this component belongs to. |
| Components | Access components on this component's GameObject. |
| Enabled | The enable state of this Component. This doesn't tell you whether the component is actually active because its parent GameObject might be disabled. |
| Active | True if this Component is enabled, and all of its ancestor GameObjects are enabled. |
| IsValid | Indicates whether the component is valid. |
| OnComponentEnabled | Action triggered when the component is enabled. |
| OnComponentStart | Action triggered when the component starts. |
| OnComponentUpdate | Action triggered when the component updates. |
| OnComponentFixedUpdate | Action triggered during the fixed update phase. |
| OnComponentDisabled | Action triggered when the component is disabled. |
| OnComponentDestroy | Action triggered when the component is destroyed. |
| Tags | Tags associated with this component. |
| DebugOverlay | Allows drawing of temporary debug shapes and text in the scene. |
| Flags | Flags associated with this component. |
| Id | The unique identifier for this component. |
| LocalTransform | The local transform of the game object. |
| LocalPosition | The local position of the game object. |
| LocalRotation | The local rotation of the game object. |
| LocalScale | The local scale of the game object. |
| Network | Network accessor for this component. |
| IsProxy | True if this is a networked object and is owned by another client. |
| ComponentVersion | The version of the component. Used by JsonUpgrader. |
| WorldTransform | The world transform of the game object. |
| WorldPosition | The world position of the game object. |
| WorldRotation | The world rotation of the game object. |
| WorldScale | The world scale of the game object. |
